Top 5 Hassan Blasim Quotes (2025 Update)

1. “The pleasure I found in reading books was disconcerting... I felt anxious about every new piece of information. I would latch onto one particular detail and start look for references and other versions of it in other writings. I remembered, for example, that for quite some time I tracked down the subject of kissing. I read and read and felt dizzy with the subject, as if I had eaten a psychotropic fruit.”

— Hassan Blasim

2. “You can’t understand beauty without peace of mind and you can’t get close to the truth without fear.”

3. “I wanted to reach back to other times I might have lived in, the traces of which are scattered to places I previously thought imaginary.”

— Hassan Blasim

4. “I don’t recall ever seeing my mother as a human being. She would always be weeping and wailing in the corner of the kitchen like a dog tied up to be tormented. My father would assail her with a hail of insults, and when her endurance broke, she would whine aloud, ‘Why good Lord? Why? Take me and save me.’ Only then would my father stand up, take the cord out of his headdress, and whip her nonstop for half an hour, spitting at her throughout.”

— Hassan Blasim

5. “The dead, Your Honor, do not agonize over their crimes and do not long to be happy, as you know.”

— Hassan Blasim
